I'm not surprised PlentyOfFish was hacked in the least. I signed up at one point and the password entry form wasn't even obscured. That was my first red flag. So I made sure to use a throwaway password.
But it got worse. Every few days, POF started sending me newsletters with my password in plaintext! "in case you forgot, your password is:...." in addition to whatever else the newetter said. So I knew they were storing passwords in plaintext.
Couple those things with the complete unusability of the site…well I deleted my account (which is unsurprisingly difficult to do as well).
